Marriage is honorable in ALL says
St. Paul. and the same opinion has
been expressed in much the sam words
by innumerable authors from Seneca
downward. 1t is curious, however. to
note how writers have differed in the
testimony they have borne to this,
the most sacred of human relationships.

Bacon. and according to u lady writer.

Nothing has created such excitement
throughout the province as the fall of the

BosToN. September 1Sth.-The American
Beard of Foreign Missions have Just re-
ceived communication from their mis-
sionary agents in Asia Minor, stating that
a terrible famine is prevailing on the Ci-
lician plain at Adana, Tarsus, Targus,
kooZslook. Gississ, GsZonart and other
places. The crops have been flat failure
and 10000 persons are subsisting on what
would make q healthy man a good meal in
two days. 1t is estimated that 500 persons
are dying daily, OF whom 80 per cent. are
Christians, and an earnest appeal is made
for funds 10 relieve the sufferings.
Rev. Mr.. Montgomery, stationed at
Adana, writes: Large numbers of people
are kept alive by eating grass roots, refuse
thrown into the streets, berries and small
fruits. There are many thousands of fami-
lies in dire need, and many tens of thou
sands of dollars will be required to sustain
life until the next harvest. 1t lis heartrend-

such as collected in the street about our

TIE GREET WHEAT DEAL.

Six Million Guarantee.

Six Million Guarantee.
New York, September 1Sth-[Special.
The Tribune has this from San Francisco: !:
A schedule of the assets and liabilities of
William Dresbach, one of the two wheat
brokers backed by the Nevada Bank in the
recent wheat deals, gives some interesting
figures which have previously been a mat
ter of conjecture. The 7rit1lne originally
placed the loss OF the Nevada Bank by its
advances on wheat at from SIX to eight
million dollars. This was secuted by the
bank officials, but that it was largely
below the real losses is to be shown by
Dresbach's schedule To him alone the
bank loaned six and one-half million dol
lars. For six millions of this amount Chas.
+. Reed, Yolo county wheat rancher. is
guarantee, but il is not probable that he
can stand such heavy loss as this. The
best judges declare that the bank used him
to protect itself in case Of suits by Dres-
bach's creditors.
Reed owns 10000 acres of rich bottom
land along the Sacramento river, and
grows more wheat than any other man in
California, but one-halfof this Indebtedness
would force him into insolvency. Mrs.
Paran Stevens, Of New York, is Reeds
sister. How he has compromised with the
bank, or what his actual relations with it
are, remain a mystery, but that he really
assumed such vast responsibility is not
believed by any wheat broker. The filing
OF the exhibit on what is practically legal
holiday was clever trick to break the force
OF this exposure and weaken its influence
